Summary:
The North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: North AdamsJerome MiddleHigh School (serving grades 6-12) and North AdamsJerome Elementary School (serving grades PK-5). Both schools are consistently ranked in the bottom half or quarter of their respective state rankings, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in Michigan.
The data shows that both schools struggle with low academic performance, with proficiency rates on standardized tests ranging from single digits to around 50% across various subjects and grade levels. The middle/high school has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which are areas of concern compared to state averages. Additionally, both schools have a high percentage of students (over 67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the district.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools' chronic absenteeism rates are high at 29.5%, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that the North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and may need to implement substantial interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes.
